The RND4450 from Netgear is a 4-bay network storage enclosure that will grow as your needs do. The 4 hot swappable bays support SATA and SATA II hard drives. Four 500GB drives are already installed and configured so you're ready to go right out of the box. Add capacity with the 3 USB 2.0 ports, or attach a printer and let the print server handle your network's print jobs. A 256MB memory module speeds up operations, and indicator LEDs and a 2 line LCD display let you monitor status.
There is built in support for RAID levels 0, 1 and 5. Take advantage of the X-RAID technology to future-proof your system. Add drives as necessary and swap out smaller drives for larger as your needs increase. X-RAID will handle it all automatically; no more buying a second enclosure full of drives and transferring all of the data manually.

It's also Windows MCE compatible, so all of your PCs on the network can access the media files from a central location.
